Dad, Uncle Chuck, Aunt Cheryl, and June,

I look around my home and everywhere I look I see his hand in the art work he created that adorns almost every wall. I feel the pride he he had for each of his children and grandchildren. He was a man humbled by the power of God faithful till the end. A warrior that fought for our freedoms and would not tolerate anyone disrespecting our flag that he fought for and watched his friends perish defending. This was the man that gave me his most precious possession the hand of his daughter in marriage.
